M & Nwhich won the
Panasonic Filmmaker Award at the IFP Market 2007 (in the Emerging
Narrative category) and was a finalist at the Sundance
Lab 07, has been adapted to an American setting. The original version
was aimed to be shot in France and in French.
The title, which loses completely its French double-meaning, has been
replaced by
1975.
Instead of dealing with the French-Algerian war that ended in 1962, the
new story focuses on the Vietnam war, which officially ended in 1975.
Production is forecast for Spring 10. (Check Pre-Production Page).

The
new version follows a guilt-ridden
old woman, Mary Rae,
who after years of alienation with her daughter, Faith, desperately tries to
reconnect with her. Problems arise when Faith refuses to allow her mother
in her life. Instead, Mary Rae finds herself under the care of a
middle-aged Asian woman. Mary Rae never recovered from her son's death during
the Algeria in
1962. The co-habitation and the quest for her daughter only marks the
beginning of a painful journey towards awareness and acceptance.
